Portray Christmas Story
Bethel's tenth annual Festival of
Christmas will fill the fieldhouse-auditorium
four times during the
weekend with on-campus and com-munity
audiences of 1700 for each
performance. The special presen-tations
will be given Friday and
Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at
3 p.m. and 9 p.m.
Theme for this year's program is
"Glory to God" which will be car-ried
through three sections (the
Prophecy, the Birth, the Rejoicing)
by the combined efforts of the art
and music departments.
As musicians thirty percent of
the student body will be per-forming
in the program in the
200-voice Festival Choir and the
60-member College Band. Each
of the individual choral organi-zations,
the College Choir, Male
Chorus, and Women's Choir, who
together with others interested
make up the Festival Choir, will
also perform selections separ-ately.
As the choirs form en masse in
the front of the auditorium, they
will sing before a mural backdrop
produced by the art department
under the leadership of Mr. Eu-gene
Johnson. The design will por-tray
the Nativity of Christ in orig-inal
bright-colored scenes with
special colored lighting effects en-hancing
the portrayal.
Added to the music and art
forms in depicting the eternal
glory of Christmas will be Scrip-tural
narration, handled this year
by Mr. Elliott Donnels, Assistant
Professor of Education. The narra-tion
will be used to unite the var-ious
sections.
Bandsmen will open the pro-gram
with a prelude portion in-cluding
three arrangement
"Carols for Christmas" by
Grundman, a "Christmas Suite"
of familiar Christmas music by
Walters, and Bingham's "Volun-tary."
In the prologue portion
Mr. Donnels will open with a call
to worship, following which an-tiphonal
choirs will echo through
the auditorium with verses of
Dr. 0. Hobart Mowrer, an ac-knowledged
crusader for reform
in the field of psychology, pres-sented
a stimulating, yet disturb-ing
report to the campus commu-nity
in his convocation address
the Swedish nativity hymn "All
Hail to Thee 0 Blessed Morn" by
Nicolai. Then the entire group of
singers will process to the plat-form
singing "Angels, from the
Realms of Glory." Before the in-vocation,
the congre-audience
will join in singing "Silent
Night."
As in the processional, the
theme of Christmas glory pervades
all the music of the program. An-thems
ranging from the Renais-sance
selection "Glory" by Hassler
to the contemporary German-Min-nesotan
Gerhard Track's "Gloria"
are programmed with this theme
in mind.
The massed choir will sing five
numbers, including the two men-tioned
above and Averre's "Did
Mary Know?", Praetorius' "To Us
Is Born Immanuel," and Jolley's
"Gloria in Excelsis." Also featured
in the main part of the program
will be a fifteen-member brass en-semble
from the Band.
The mixed voices of the Col-lege
Choir will join in three spe-cial
selections, "0 Day of Great-est
Joy," by Eccard, "The Carol
of the Birds," arranged by Shaw-
Parker, and Kirkpatrick-Fisch-er's
"Away in a Manger," which
will be done by a small ensemble
from the choir. The Women's
Choir and Male Chorus will each
sing two numbers, the women
"Within A Lowly Stable" by
Morgan and "Sing Ye Praise to
the Newborn King" by Litten
and the men "Glory to God in
the Highest" by Whitford and
"Infant Jesus" by Cassler.
Members of the music faculty
who will combine to bring the mu-sical
part of the presentation to
its apex are Mr. Julius Whitinger,
Dr. Robert Berglund, Dr. Gordon
Howell, Mr. Oliver Mogck, Mr. C.
Howard Smith, and Mr. C. Edward
Thomas.
In addition to the performing
students, about twenty other young
Bethelites will handle technical
arrangements.

The final list of nominees to
"Who's Who Among Students in
American Universities and Col-leges"
from Bethel College was an-nounced
recently. The list includes
seven juniors and fourteen seniors.
Selection of nominees was con-ducted
by campus committees in-volving
student-faculty-administra-tive
participation. Consideration
was given to the student's scholar-ship,
his leadership and coopera-that
have been and today are used
for treatment. We have, in fact,
been believing a myth with the
result that much treatment has
been driving neurotics away from
the normal.
Dr. Mowrer began his address
by discussing the historical tra-ditions
in psychiatry, beginning
actually with the early Christian
church. The early church, said
Mowrer, was basically a small
groups movement in which dis-turbed,
"neurotic" individuals
could find their "salvation" in
this world through exomologe-sis,
or open confession, and then
through the required restitution
o r penance for their "sins."
Therefore, lost, wayward, neu-rotic
persons could be restored
to community.
This sound therapeutic technique
which, according to Mowrer, form-ed
the strength and vitality of the
early church was gradually lost.
The acceptance of Constantine's
offer to make Christianity the state
religion in Mowrer's opinion was
a gross error, for then Christiani-ty
had to attract the multitudes.
It lost its small group appeal and
dynamics.

activities, his general citizen-ship,
and his promise of future
usefulness.
There is no competition among
the various institutions submit-ting
nominations, as their cur-ricula
and extracurricular pro-grams
differ too greatly to per-mit
accurate comparison.
Each institution participating is
assigned a separate quota large
enough to give a well-rounded rep-resentation
of the student body,
small enough to confine nomina-tions
to an exceptional group of
students and based upon curricular
enrollment.
Recognition in "Who's Who" is
designed as 1) a goal to inspire
greater effort in those who may not
otherwise perform to the best of
their ability, 2) a reminder that
District secretaries throughout
the Baptist General Conference
will converge upon Bethel Semin-ary
Friday for a District Workers
Day to acquaint the seminarians
with the problems and challenges
of serving the twentieth century
church. Seminary classes will be
cancelled for the entire day.
The program of the day will be
highlighted by several major
events, beginning with reports
from the districts sharing particu-lar
needs and opportunities. The
student body will be addressed in
the morning chapel session by Rev.
Truman Halvorsen, Executive Sec-retary
of the Middle East District.
The students and district men
will have opportunity to interact
time must be used intelligently to
bring the best results from one's
college experience, 3) a means of
comparison for outstanding effort
and achievement, and 4) a stan-dard
of measurement for students
comparable to other recognized
scholastic and service organiza-tions.
Those recognized from Bethel
include seniors Jim Brand, Tom
Corneil, Cabot Dow, Gail Erick-son,
Kathie Fjeldheim, John Hal-vorsen,
Kathie Harvie, Bernie
Johnson, LoAnn Liukonen, Teri
Mounce, Richard Olson, Connie
Oosterbaan, Barb Reed, and Dick
Schultz.
Junior nominees were Mel Fahs,
Jim Hammar, Paul V. Johnson,
Jonathan L. Larson, Dave Living-ston,
Linda Carol Olson, and Ron
Stone.
in elective sessions discussing the
Problems of the Rural Church,
Establishing New Churches, Re-newal
in the Established Church,
Youth and Education Work in the
Districts, and the Challenge of the
Inner City. Students will act as
moderators for the sessions with
the district leaders as discussants.
A report and discussion of the
recent Berlin World Conference on
Evangelism with Dr. Gordon John-son,
Dr. Carl Lundquist, and Rev.
Gordon Anderson will occupy the
afternoon with a district worker
and faculty dinner followed by
conferences with seminary stu-dents
concluding the sessions.
